Note on values. Figures are typical reference values for this thermoplastic family and are given for design guidance only — they are not lot-specific certified data and vary with print orientation, layer height, infill and wall count. FDM parts are anisotropic: strength along the layers is higher than across them, so orientation is set for the load case. Confirm critical values with your applications engineer before designing to them.
